Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of nearby occupiers and the character of the area with regard to noise and disturbance
- the effect of the development on highway safety with particular regard to the provision of car parking and cycle storage
What decided it
The proposal would result in unacceptable levels of noise and disturbance to neighbouring residents and would fail to provide adequate off-street parking in accordance with adopted standards, thereby unduly affecting highway safety.
